Stuck on Huck rally is June 4, but isn’t literal ‘eve’ of Huckabee decision, organizers say

The Stuck on Huck movement will hold a Des Moines rally on June 4 with the expectation that their desired presidential pick, Mike Huckabee, will make a decision sometime this summer.

But the organizers’ wording about the event on their Facebook page might need to be tweaked so that people don’t think they have inside info on big Huckabee news, one organizer said this morning.

“This will serve to fan the flames of passionate voters across the nation on the eve of Huckabee’s decision to run for president,” says the note on a Facebook page for Stuck on Huck, a grass-roots effort with no official connections to Huckabee.

Stuck on Huck’s Dave Davidson said they didn’t mean the literal eve of his decision – just the general time frame around when he might announce his decision.

Huckabee will do his daily radio show from the ship, said Gregg Gray, co-owner of Paradise Tours & Travel.

But there won’t be any announcement about a presidential decision during the cruise, Gray said this morning.

“Oh, definitely no,” Gray said.

Meanwhile, the Des Moines rally will take place on Saturday, June 4, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. It will be livestreamed “across the nation,” organizers said.

“It’s a rally for a man who hasn’t announced yet, in case he does,” Davidson said. “We’re priming the pump and kicking the envelope.”

Fans of Huckabee, who won the Republican caucuses in Iowa in 2008, created a Stuck on Huck live radio show, a Facebook page and a telephone campaign a few weeks ago without the aid of anyone from the Huckabee camp.

Organizers said they wanted to help organize a re-election effort while Huckabee prays on his decision.

The June 4 rally “will also be a nationwide event with a live online streaming of the Des Moines meeting with simultaneous house party gatherings in all 50 states,” the Facebook post says.
